Replying to Its a tough life, for a nihilist...

Ive been thinking a bit lately (at least the last 20 minutes or so) how I've never really identified with any sort of spirituality. Most people I meet do. I have friends who are Christian, Jewish, etc... I know people who worship sacred geometry and believe in "love vibrations" that connect our souls. I even know people who believe they are aliens sent from their home planet to guide the human race towards a spiritual evolution to an energy state. Through it all, I've never heard much that I can really get into any more than through a bit of playful musings.

That said, I am a hard worker, and a good person. Better intentioned and harder working than many of the "purpose driven" souls I know...

So I am curious, what do you guys think, what role does spirituality play in this day and age? Is it a bad idea to continue to go through life believing that it is wholly meaningless? I have dreams, and ambitions, I just know that I am not doing it for any specific reason, or power, and I have no problem with this...

Is there anyone that can kind of relate to what I am saying?
I dunno, just kinda felt like ranting a little. Don't really care what your belief system is, curious more as to what role you think belief plays in our lives?

This is not meant to be a thread about religion, this topic, I believe, goes way deeper than religion, but if no one else sees that, this might just boil down to a shitstorm, either way, hope for some interesting insights...
